Those aren't fetch quests. Fetch quests are when you have to get an item and take it to a specific NPC to progress the storyline. There's only one, maybe two cases of that happening in the Beast Tribe quests. Everything else is "kill x monster" or "perform x task."

They might not be overwhelmingly interesting, but don't use a specific term to describe something when it doesn't fit. And, fetch quests have counted as content since it gave you something to do. That's content. Hell, it even rewards you for doing it with Philosophy, minions and mounts, to name the most important things. Sorry it doesn't interest you, but I see a LOT of people running around Southern Thanalan working on their Daily Quests and trying to move forward with those storylines, so clearly it interests other people.

You are so irrational.it is content even if you wont admit it.im done w you.not worth the headache.

OP, you've won the game, congratulations!

thats what you get for "calling in sick" and nerding through content 24/7. You will run out of content in every MMORPG on this planet, ever and always.

plus, monthly subscription is 14 dollars a month, it took you at least a day to finish everything that 2.1 brought. You pay 15 dollars (at least where I live at) for a "3D" movie at the movies that lasts 1:30 hrs. Your money is still well spent. I feel like this is more of a "I'm a badass, I finished the hardest parts of this patch really really fast" than anything else.

This game has an incredible amount of content. Now what most are saying is the lack of endgame content. Technically there are only 2 raids. They need to take the alliance gate off and tune Crystal palace difficulty a little harder and it would be an amazing raid. They also need at least another 8 man and I think game would be #1.

You are burning through content too quickly. It isn't a lack of content so much as a fundamental change in a percentage of MMO gamers these days. Its become a lifestyle, an extension of some peoples' everyday lives and so of course they will run out way too fast. Unfortunately for them the video game market is designed for making money and casual players like me who slowly pace through content are a long term source of income for them.

It's a change in the opposite direction from what you're assuming, it's geared far more towards casuals than those who play more frequently. People in the first 8 yrs of 2ks spent way more time playing than they do now.

Why they didn't run out of content as fast? Because it wasn't super easy & accessible and you couldn't level 1-50 in a day or two tops. I don't really see that many people sticking around after a month out of 2.1.

You think you're the main source of income of FFXIV? Word of mouth and reputation will get you a lot more income than a few people who never play the game but are still subscribed. If there were some popular MMO players that streamed and migrated to FFXIV from WoW/etc then you'd see a much larger spike in population. A single casual could never produce such a boom in subscriptions.
